Martin Gobert (b.2000) is a French visual artist who graduated from the photography department of the Royal Academy of Arts in Den Haag (The Netherlands) in 2024.
He worked as an assistant for Helmut Smits (2023), and Thomas Mailaender (2024), which helped him to sharpen his interest in conceptual ideas, using found footage and the everyday as primal material. His work explores the absurdity of human behavior, its environment, and social phenomena. He tends to include himself in his work to better understand what he explores.
Martin has a particular interest in the banal and the ordinary. His practice seeks to find things that are no longer considered and put them in the spotlight. Inspired by confusion and playfulness, his work juggles between absurdity and rationality; between humor and seriousness. He likes to create interactive installations that include the viewer which encourages them to reflect on their condition.
